Wire Flowers
You can also make wire flowers for a fun and decorative jewelry craft. To start you will need a daisy loom, 26 gauge wire and a few beads. Leave a tail of wire 6-8 inches long at the back of your flower and wind the wire around the loom once. Wind the wire around the loom a few more times until you have the desired petals for your flower. Cut the wire and leave about 8 or 9 inches for weaving in the center. Wind the wire through the center of the flower making sure to reach all corners. Bring the wire to the front and thread the beads onto the wire and poke the wire into the back and secure underneath the wire. Pop the flower of the loom and display in a vase or just laying on a table. Make a dozen of these wire flowers to give to a loved one to cherish forever.
